Chapter 884 - Joining Hands to Defeat Evil

After striking an agreement with Zhantai Liuli, Mu Chen did not hesitate. He gave the former a glance and did not speak anymore, then his figure burst out.

The location which he was heading for was, naturally, the darkness. At this moment, the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’ was having a tug-of-war with the chains in an attempt to break free and escape from the envelopment of this battle formation.

But when he saw Mu Chen approaching, a sinister light surged in his eyes as he licked his lips and an eerie killing intent filled his face.

“Brat, you’re truly courting death!”

The ‘Sky Formation Emperor’ sinisterly laughed and had abruptly raised his hand. The black aura that gathered around him then shot out. It was like a rolling smoke of evil aura that surged over and enveloped Mu Chen.

Rustle!

Seeing the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’s’ approaching attack, Mu Chen had his brows tightly furrowed. But he did not carry out any defensive measures. His back trembled and a massive pair of golden-purple phoenix wings unfolded; then, with a flap, his figure had burst in retreat at a great speed.

Borrowing the Phoenix Wings of the True Phoenix tattoo, Mu Chen’s speed had reached an extremely stunning height. It was a speed that not even those pinnacle Fifth Grade Sovereigns could compete against.

Although the rolling smoke of evil aura had a ferocious momentum, it could not catch up to Mu Chen. On the contrary, as it pursued, it had gradually thinned down.

That was because of the energy held within it was being rapidly depleted.

Watching this scene, Mu Chen’s gaze lightly flashed. The ‘Sky Formation Emperor’ seemed to be greatly suppressed in the darkness, even the attacks launched by him would constantly be weakened. It must probably be due to being enveloped by the battle formation.

It seemed that by using the suppression of the battle formation, it’s not impossible for him to restrain the power of the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’.

“So you’re just a little brat that only knows how to run like a rat!”

Seeing Mu Chen’s speed, the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’ was a little startled, but then eerily laughed out. He stretched his five withered and pale fingers, then suddenly tapped out. “Since you like to run so much, then I’ll let you run till you’re happy!”

Boom!

Along with his five fingers pointing out, the black aura around him violently surged and formed into five massive black demonic serpents with the size of roughly a hundred feet each. The serpents were covered with scales that looked sinister and ugly. They were filled with a corrosive smell that even caused distorted marks on the space that was in their paths.

Hiss!

The moment those five demonic serpents appeared, they hissed and penetrated through space at a great speed as they swept towards Mu Chen to envelop him.

Seeing the five demonic serpents, Mu Chen’s face had finally changed. He must have sensed the threatening undulations coming from them. Despite being suppressed here for tens of thousands of years and his strength not being compared to even half of his peak, the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’ was still an indomitable mountain for Mu Chen. If it wasn’t for his strength being greatly restrained by the chains, he could probably slaughter Mu Chen with a flip of his hand.

But even so, when he started to use his true strength, Mu Chen still felt threatened by it.

Whoosh!

The wings behind Mu Chen trembled. He had pushed his speed to the limits, leaving behind afterimages as ear-piercing explosions of wind rang out.

He already knew that the energy of the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’ would be constantly weakened in the range of the battle formation. So he only needed to loop in circles and the attacks of the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’ would be continuously weakened. And when it was weakened to the level that he could deal with, Mu Chen could make his move and destroy those attacks.

Mu Chen’s tactics were indeed correct. But he had belittled the attack of the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’ this time. The speed of the five demonic serpents had exceeded his expectations. They seemed to have been able to pierce through space and surged over from every direction after a few breaths’ time in an attempt to kill him.

Rumble!

The space on Mu Chen’s right shattered first and a demonic serpent pounced forth. Its tail was like an extremely sharp demonic spear that appeared before Mu Chen in a rustle and had aimed at his heart.

Mu Chen’s figure had suddenly stopped as his heart shook. A golden light erupted from his body as the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour appeared along with indestructible undulations spreading out from it.

Mu Chen crossed his arms before him. As the golden light spread out, it was like a golden shield that waited for the serpent’s tail to strike.

Boom!

The clashes of both sides had instantly caused sparkles to fly, along with the resounding metallic clashes. The space where the contact took place trembled with visible ripples.

Whoosh!

Mu Chen’s figure was sent back a few hundred feet and his arm, which was protected by the golden armour, had caved in. A sharp pain spread from Mu Chen’s arms, which made him feel startled in his heart. It was merely a whip-like attack from the serpent’s tail and it was already so powerful.

By borrowing the repelling force of that attack, Mu Chen had manage to get out of the attacking range of that demonic serpent. But before he could even catch his breath, the space behind him was torn apart as another black demonic serpent ferociously pounced forth.

“About time!”

Mu Chen’s gaze swiftly flickered. He could feel that as time passed, the energy on those demonic serpents wasn’t as dreadful as it was at the beginning. Furthermore, he also did not have much time to avoid that attack.

Boom!

As thoughts flashed in his head, Mu Chen did not hesitate. The boundless Spiritual Energy swept out like a storm from his body with a will of his mind. The Spiritual Energy spread out as a colossal light figure appeared.

That figure had a blazing sun hovering behind its head, like a great buddha, that rippled with powerful Spiritual Energy undulations.

It was naturally the Great Solar Undying Body.

“Three Solar Energy!”

Both of Mu Chen’s hands formed seals and three dazzling golden suns rose from the Great Solar Undying Body and exploded. The golden light swept out like a golden liquid, making the Great Solar Undying Body even more dazzling than before.

Rumble!

The Great Solar Undying Body threw a palm forth and the refined golden light formed into golden crystals on its arm. The might of that palm looked like it could flatten mountains.

Boom!

The huge palm that was covered in golden crystals ferociously clashed with the demonic serpent. In that instant of contact, space undulated and a violent impact wave spread out, wreaking havoc.

The massive silhouette of the Great Solar Undying Body was immediately sent flying back from the undulations and its arm had exploded into sparkles of lights.

Although the Great Solar Undying Body had paid a price with that palm, that demonic serpent was destroyed as well, reduced to black sparkles of light.

Within the Great Solar Undying Body, Mu Chen wiped the traces of blood off the corner of his lips and his gaze turned extremely grave. He had practically used the strongest power he could in that previous attack. But even so, it cost an arm. It was so much so that he even suffered the impact from it. Despite paying this price, he only managed to get rid of a black demonic serpent.

But right now, there were four other demonic serpents making their way over, forming an envelopment and forcing him into a desperate situation.

When the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’ made his move for real, he had caused Mu Chen to be in such a pathetic state, so the gap between their strengths was evident.

Rumble!

When Mu Chen’s face turned grave, space undulated in the surroundings and the four other black demonic serpents pounced over, frantically enveloping him in a ferocious manner.

“You guys get weaker as you fight. I refuse to believe that you guys can kill me here!”

Despite the pressing danger, Mu Chen did not have fear in his heart. On the contrary, his eyes flickered with a ferocious light and, the next instant, the Great Solar Undying Body made a grasping gesture. The Great Meru Demonic Pillar appeared in a flash along with an ominous aura. The three blazing suns in its body grew even more radiant. Mu Chen had clearly exerted his strength to the limits.

Boom!

The Great Solar Undying Body took a step and had charged forth first. The Great Meru Demonic Pillar brought along its ominous aura and enveloped a demonic serpent.

Intense explosions of battle broke out in this region.

Every single exchange between Mu Chen and that demonic serpent would cause cracks to appear on the Great Solar Undying Body. It was so much so that he even suffered from the impacts and even more blood was dripping from the corner of his lips.

But while Mu Chen was in such a pathetic state, the four demonic serpents had also paid a considerable price. The Great Meru Demonic Pillar would be slammed against them and constantly dissipate the black aura around them.

Boom!

When the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was slammed down once again, with boundless Spiritual Energy whizzing by, the last demonic serpent finally couldn’t take it anymore, hissed and collapsed. But before it collapsed, it had used its tail to heavily strike against the chest of the Great Solar Undying Body.

Boom!

The Great Solar Undying Body, which was covered in cracks to begin with, also couldn’t bear that attack and had collapsed as well. Along with the collapse of the Great Solar Undying Body, Mu Chen’s silhouette had flown out of it in a pathetic manner.

Poof! Poof!

A mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth. His face was a little pale and his figure was sent back out a thousand feet before he could stabilise himself.

Deep in the darkness, when the five demonic serpents collapsed, the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’, who was struggling the restraints of the chains seemed to have sensed something and had cast a dark gaze towards Mu Chen.

He initially thought that his previous attacks would be sufficient to deal with Mu Chen. But who could have expected that an ant with the cultivation merely at the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm would actually manage to take that attack from him.

Those attacks could even slaughter a Fifth Grade Sovereign!

“You’ve made me somewhat interested now!”

The ‘Sky Formation Emperor’ revealed a sinister smile towards Mu Chen and the devilish rune on his face had started to wriggle at this moment. Seeing his smile, the countenance of Mu Chen changed. He felt an extremely threatening fluctuation at this moment.

Boom!

The devilish rune on the face of the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’ suddenly split open and half of the rune turned into a beam of black light that flew towards Mu Chen.

At this sight, Mu Chen practically did not need to think. He pushed his speed to the limits once again. At the same time, his face was slightly ashened. Could it be that Zhantai Liuli is still not intending to act?

𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Was she trying to get Mu Chen killed by the hands of the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’? If that’s the case, then he would have to kill her, even if he had to pay a grave price!

Just when Mu Chen started to frantically retreat, Zhantai Liuli’s gaze slightly flashed outside the battle formation. She briefly hesitated, but in the end, she still gently sighed and her face turned solemn.

She bit on her finger and a crimson drop of blood fell onto the stone seal. Her hands then swiftly formed some seals and she bark, “Explode!”

Boom!

Along with that bark of hers, the ancient stone seal in her hand had actually exploded at this moment!
